Student Testimonial

Nadia Pasarzadeh (Iran)Candidate for Doctor Philosophy

I chose this program because it is related to my previous major and also because of its job potential opportunities available. What attracted me to study this program at UTM AIS because the courses offered in this program is actually what I was looking for. Besides, UTM AIS also concerns about student’s goals. During my study as a full-time Master student, I was assigned with two supervisors who assisted and guided me throughout my research tenure. Another thing I enjoyed the most about studying at UTM AIS is that student have access to online databases, not only local journal databases but also well-known journal databases, and access to other universities’ libraries.

Student life at UTM AIS and in Malaysia generally, is fantastic. I learned how to manage my life independently. My suggestion for potential students who plans to continue study at UTM AIS, listen to your supervisor’s advise and do not get easily frustrated in your research. Be patient when doing your research, you will reach your goal eventually.

Asghar Pakbaz (Iran)Master in Software Engineering

It has been always my passion to learn Software Engineering and to develop software products. That is why when I know of UTM AIS’s Master in Software Engineering program, I applied and flew to Malaysia. The reasons why I chose Software Engineering offered by UTM AIS primarily due to the reputation of the university in general and AIS specifically. The courses structured modularly are one of the factors that motivate me to study in UTM AIS, it allows me more timely to attend to my assignments. In my opinion, variety of programs available in a faculty or university is one of the issues that need to be considered when choosing the right program to pursue besides student’s ability and expertise.

I am totally satisfied with the services and facilities provided by UTM AIS during my studies. All UTM AIS staff, lecturers and non-academic staff, are very helpful in guiding me during my study. I really appreciate and would like to thank all efforts rendered until my graduation. I personally like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Nazri Mahrin and Dr. Azurati for their endless help and support. Studying in UTM AIS with its multicultural environment gave me the opportunity to gain lots of experience and knowledge. Apart from my fellow countrymen, I met new friends from Nigeria, Sudan, Malaysia, China and other countries.

I would like to recommend UTM AIS as the preferred choice due to its good reputation, friendly and helpful staff, and more importantly its advanced and innovative way of educating students. UTM AIS absolutely changed my perspective on the fundamental of software engineering and helped me gain confidence to prepare myself for a great experience in career and life.

I chose to study Software Engineering at UTM AIS because of its well-known international reputation and its experienced staff. UTM AIS also offers good programs which covers different topics in the area of informatics. Another factor that attracted me to study at UTM AIS is because of its strategic location at the heart of Kuala Lumpur which has amazing environment and surrounded by kind people.

I chose full-time study mode because I need to finish my study as soon as possible and allows me to always meet my supervisor and AIS staff when I need help during weekdays. UTM AIS provide many facilities for students in doing research, we have access to available resources online and also postgraduate supervision scheme where every student has at least one supervisor to help and guide their research. These are some factors that motivate me in pursuing my educational goals.

After I graduate from UTM AIS, I am planning on continue research in the area of Software Engineering as well as having my own Software Engineering Consultation Company and share the experiences I gained while studying in UTM AIS to my students and colleagues in my home country Palestine – Gaza.
